Clumber Park has some excellent ancient and veteran trees, particularly within the lapsed wood pasture, but also scattered around the magnificent parkland.  Clumber’s particular claim to fame is its common lime avenue, Tilia x Europaea, which is 2 miles long and contains 1296 trees, making it the longest avenue of its type in Europe.

    I’m familiar with grease banding of fruit trees but why treat lime trees or are the black bands for another purpose? It spoils their natural beauty and seems unnecessary to me.

      I too would like to know why the limes have grease bands?
